Well I waited and I waited up at day and night
Thinking that my phone would ring.
But you never gave me a second thought
H
And told all your friends about me.
Yes you told them all about what a clown I was
And how you had me on the end of a string
Now I got a title for which I?m known
H
And that?s the Fool of the Century
Ref.
Well you seem so close
But just out of reach
I?m always chasing something down the road
H
And it?s way too late, I?ve shoulda learned my lesson
A long long time ago.
But now no matter where I wander
All over town
I can hear them laughing at me
Yes they all whisper when I walk by:
H
?There goes the fool of the century?
